Growing Tips

How to Germinate Successully. Since acquiring good seed can be dangerous, expensive and very time consuming, the “seed sponge” system for starting seeds proves to be the most successful. The sponges and styrofoam holder are very inexpensive and can be reused. The photos on the next page demonstrate how easily the sponge once removed from the styrofoam holder can be inserted into the 4” Rockwool cube after the seedling has reached sufficient root development. If you are a die hard soil or soil less mix grower, the sponges will transplant into any medium. The center hole in the seed sponges is about 1 1/2inches deep and ready to accommodate a seed. The seed sponge is about 3 1/2inches tall and 1 1/2inches wide, tapering to the bottom.

So far the ONLY resource I know of (check your local grow suppliers) The Grow Store; 5050 S. Federal Blvd., Englewood,  Co. 80110. (303) 738-0202 They ship anywhere!! The styrofoam holder comes with the seed sponges. The one shown here has been altered but they usually hold 15 sponges which can also be purchased separately.

Seed prices are high because of many factors.
